Lemon Haku at Daimaru Umeda 2026｜9/30〜10/6 Access & Fees

Why You Should Visit

Lemon Haku, a travelling fair devoted entirely to lemon sweets and foods, comes to Osaka for the first time. It runs for seven days, 30 September to 6 October, in the event space on the east side of Daimaru Umeda's basement food floor. This edition is a compact line-up of the fair's best sellers: lemon cakes, lemon pies, Basque cheesecake, cookie tins, daifuku and regional lemon treats from around Japan. There is no entry fee, and the store connects directly to JR Osaka Station, so it is an easy stop when picking up gifts.
